Nicole Miller applied a light touch to her first-ever resort collection, which took inspiration from the forties and the seventies without becoming too theme-y. Shirtdresses, high-waisted shorts, and khakis topped with jaunty fedoras were interspersed among airy open-work frocks and Halston-esque caftans; clingy knit tank dresses shared the runway with flowing pajama-style pool cover-ups. As in any Miller production, prints were key: Plumes and tropical-greenery motifs stood out, but most intriguing was a very of-the-moment Ossie Clark-style floral.
